Bill speaks with former British government minister The Rt Hon Alistair Burt about one of the most turbulent periods in modern UK politics. With Nigel Farage and Reform UK reshaping the political landscape, a change of Prime Minister, and fresh questions about Britain's future at home and abroad, Alistair offers a unique insider's perspective after more than three decades in Westminster. Together they discuss the rise of populist politics, the challenges facing Britain's next leader, the state of democracy, ongoing international conflicts, and what these changes could mean for Australia's long-standing relationship with the United Kingdom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boys love action and adventure. That's why paddling a canoe across a lake or along a river is a time-tested way to exercise their minds and bodies. But have you ever heard the phrase “Up a creek without a paddle”? It refers to being in a difficult or dangerous situation where you can't get yourself out of the problem or predicament.As your son grows up, don't let him be stranded “Up a creek without a paddle.” Trials and challenges will try to sink his boat. Turbulent waters will try to knock him off course. But by teaching your son how to manage stress, learn new life skills, and seek God's guidance, you'll prepare him to navigate choppy waters to reach the shore of success. For more ideas on raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

It's been one year since the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in an unprecedented move, dismissed all the members of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), kicking off what would turn out to be a very concerning and busy year for infectious disease specialists.  We're going to recap this turbulent period – which includes a resurgence of measles, an unusually rough flu season, the emergence of a new COVID strain and outbreaks of hantavirus and Ebola – with Dr. William Schaffner, one of the country's most frequently quoted medical experts on infectious disease, vaccination, and public health. As a member of ACIP for decades, Dr. Schaffner brings unique insight into the dismantling of the committee and the distrust of vaccines that lies at the root of the changes. As he explains to Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, while many vaccine critics are beyond reach, there are those he describes as vaccine hesitant that may be persuadable if the right approach is taken. “Beyond providing facts, we have to listen to them and respond to their concerns and make them feel comfortable. Information is fundamental, but behavior change only comes with a change in attitude.” Tune in for a wealth of wisdom and context that includes observations on: What's complicating containment of the Ebola outbreak; Challenges in public health communication in the current social media environment; What grade health authorities should get on their response to the hantavirus outbreak.

While we can get pretty far with a very simple approximation of what a fire is in our fire cfd, at some point our simplications are not enough. And there is a plenty of features and phenomena, for which we simply need a better tool to handle -  carbon monoxide, soot, extinction, flashover behavior, and what happens when ventilation disappears. At the IAFSS symposium, we sit down with Professor Bart Merci (Ghent University), fresh off delivering the Howard Emmons Invited Plenary Lecture, to talk about what it really takes to model turbulent combustion in real fires without asking practitioners to become full-time combustion scientists.We start with the engineering reality check: you do not get unlimited mesh resolution, unlimited runtime, or the luxury of endless sensitivity studies. As Bart says - "you need to pick your battles". That practical constraint shapes everything, from whether LES is a smart choice to how you treat the “unseen” physics inside a CFD cell. Bart breaks down turbulence in plain terms, explains why the largest eddies dominate entrainment and smoke movement, and shows how mesh decisions can quietly decide whether LES outperforms unsteady RANS in practical smoke control and compartment fire problems.Then we go deep on sub-grid combustion models. We unpack why infinitely fast chemistry can be acceptable in well-ventilated flames yet collapses in under-ventilated conditions, where toxicity, soot, and extinction dominate the risk picture. Bart explains a finite-rate, autoignition-informed approach that uses detailed chemistry offline to tune simplified reactions, then applies flamelet concepts and turbulence measures to predict reaction rates and species production inside each cell, including ignition and extinction behavior without relying on a guessed “critical flame temperature.”We close with what's next: validation in compartments, microgravity as a brutal test of “universality,” and why advanced non-intrusive diagnostics could finally improve near-wall heat transfer and flame-surface interaction. If you care about CFD, FDS modeling limits, fire dynamics, and the future of practical fire safety engineering, you'll want this one. If you would like to read more on the topic, here is Bart's paper that accompanied his brilliant lecture. Figure 3 is what we discuss at the end of the episode.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Discover the complex and often volatile relationship between Napoleon Bonaparte and the Catholic Church—a story filled with ambition, compromise, and conflict. In this episode, special guest & author Ambrogio Caiani breaks down how Napoleon went from restoring Catholicism in France to ultimately clashing with the Pope himself.After the chaos of the French Revolution, religion in France was in ruins. Napoleon saw an opportunity. Through the Concordat of 1801, he reestablished ties with the Catholic Church, bringing stability to a fractured nation. But was this a genuine act of faith—or a calculated political move?As Napoleon's power grew, so did tensions with the papacy. From controlling church appointments to annexing Papal territories and even imprisoning Pope Pius VII, Napoleon pushed the limits of his authority. What began as cooperation quickly turned into a dramatic struggle between empire and faith.In this episode, you'll learn:How the French Revolution reshaped religion in FranceWhy Napoleon signed the Concordat of 1801The growing conflict between Napoleon and the PopeThe annexation of the Papal StatesThe arrest and imprisonment of Pope Pius VIIHow religion became a tool of imperial control

On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we start by speaking with Atlanta-based racial justice leader Dr. Catherine Meeks. In her new book, Bridging the Rivers of Difference: A Proclamation of Unity in Resistance, asks: Why do communities facing similar struggles remain divided, and what would it take to build true unity? Then, we follow that discussion with author and former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade. In The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government, she compares actions under the Trump Administration to what she’s seen when prosecuting high-level criminals. She gives her view on threats to American democracy, and how it can be fixed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frank Wisner was one of the most powerful men in 1950s Washington, though few knew it. Reporting directly to senior U.S. officials--his work largely hidden from Congress and the public-- Wisner masterminded some of the CIA's most daring and controversial operations in the early years of the Cold War, commanding thousands of clandestine agents around the world.Following an early career marked by exciting escapades as a key World War II spy under General William “Wild Bill” Donovan, Wisner quickly rose through the postwar intelligence ranks to lead a newly created top-secret unit tasked--under little oversight--with overseeing massive propaganda, economic warfare, sabotage, subversion, and guerrilla operations all over the world, including such daring initiatives as the CIA-backed coups in Iran and Guatemala.But simultaneously, Wisner faced a demon few at the time understood: bipolar disorder. When this debilitating disease resulted in his breakdown and transfer to a mental hospital, the repercussions were felt throughout Washington's highest levels of power.Waller's sensitive and exhaustively researched biography is the riveting story of both Frank Wisner as a national figure who inspired a cadre of future CIA secret warriors, and also an intimate and empathetic portrait of a man whose harrowing struggle with bipolar disorder makes his impressive accomplishments on the world stage even more remarkable.

Holy hell hi everyone where'd you all come from? Numbers have exploded this week alone!

Mitte Mai findet in Wien ein Großevent statt, dem Musik-Fans auf der ganzen Welt entgegenfiebern: Der Eurovision Song Contest. Fünf Länder – Spanien, Irland, Niederlande, Slowenien und Island – boykottieren den Musikwettbewerb, weil Israel daran teilnimmt. Sie hatten im Vorfeld gefordert, den jüdischen Staat vom ESC auszuschließen, wegen des Vorgehens der israelischen Armee im Gazastreifen. Die Europäische Rundfunkunion war der Forderung nicht nachgekommen, daraufhin hatten die fünf Länder ihren Rückzug erklärt. Die gemeinsame Boykottaktion ist deshalb bemerkenswert, weil der ESC in diesen Ländern besonders populär ist. Politische Kontroversen beim europäischen Musikwettbewerb sind dagegen alles andere als neu. Russland darf seit der Vollinvasion der Ukraine 2022 nicht mehr teilnehmen. Aserbaidschan und Armenien forderten mehrfach den gegenseitigen Ausschluss, wegen des Konflikts um Bergkarabach. Österreich boykottierte den ESC 1969, weil dieser damals im diktatorischen Spanien unter Franco ausgetragen wurde. In dieser Folge von Inside Austria sprechen wir mit Felix Bayer aus der "Spiegel"-Kulturredaktion darüber, wie politisch der ESC sein darf. Und ob sich Österreicher und Deutsche beim Wettbewerb wirklich so wenige Punkte gönnen, wie häufig behauptet wird.

In Sarah Wambaugh and the Plebiscite: The Turbulent History of a Democratic Alternative to War (Cambridge UP, 2026) Dr. Andrew Park tells the story of the rise and fall of the plebiscite, once seen as a promising democratic solution to international conflict which – more than once – became embroiled in controversy and war in the first half of the twentieth century. The book's central figure is the brilliant but largely forgotten American scholar Sarah Wambaugh, the leading expert on the plebiscite technique whose dramatic career took her to many of the world's political hotspots. The norms she developed for the technique continue to shape how self-determination and popular suffrage in international affairs are thought about and conducted today. In a world where borders are again being redrawn by force and democracy everywhere appears under strain, this book is a timely and compelling reminder that such events are not new. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
